There has been uncertainty concerning the future of Chelsea's midfielder, Conor Gallagher at Stamford Bridge since the end of last season ( 2023/24).
Conor Gallagher's future looks like it will be away from Stamford Bridge after it was reported that Chelsea and Atletico Madrid agreed to terms for his transfer.
Why do Gallagher want to leave Chelsea?
The English International on Thursday, August 1st, 2024, rejected a two-year deal, plus the option of a third which was offered to him by Chelsea. According to reports from the club, Conor Gallagher rejected the deal because some of the recent players joining the club are getting a seven-year contract.
However, the 24-year-old is open to agreeing on a deal with Chelsea only if they can offer him a new long-term contract or remain at the club and leave as a free agent next summer. He also to compete with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in midfield for a chance to break into the team.
What are Chelsea saying about Gallagher?
Chelsea are keen to sell the midfielder as they looking to balance their books due to the financial and sustainability rules in the Premier League. Selling him would present pure profit on the balance sheet considering he is an academy graduate. The Blues have offered him a different contract since 2022, with no sign of an agreement and a year left on his contract, this seems to be the best time for Chelsea to sell him at a reasonable fee.
